Using Pool Manager

Use Pool Manager to create, edit, grow, and delete storage pools. A storage pool contains a set
of physical disk drives that are grouped together and from which one or more Virtual Disks are
created. A Virtual Disk is a logical disk created with a defined RAID level. Virtual Disks are
sometimes called as LUNs. Using Windows Disk Management, Partitions and Volumes (or
filesystems) are then created on the Virtual Disks. Any local or domain user may use Pool Manager
to view the storage layout, but to make any modifications such as creating, deleting, or editing
pools, you must be a member of the local administrators group on the StoreEasy system. In most
cases, whether using Pool Manager locally on the StoreEasy system or from a browser on a
remote machine, the credentials of the logged in Windows user are used and the browser does
not prompt for credentials. If prompted for credentials, enter the username and password of a
domain user that is a member of the local administrators group on the StoreEasy system. If the
StoreEasy system is not in an Active Directory domain, provide the username and password of
the local administrator account.
You can access Pool Manager using the following ways:
In Windows Server Manager, select Tools→StoreEasy→Manage Storage Pools.
In the Storage Configuration task group in the ICT window, click Create storage pools.
